Autoxidation of linoleic acid in a strong magnetic field (9.4 T) has been studied. Formation of the hydroperoxides has been monitored by the Fe(SCN)3 method, showing that the magnetic field accelerates the autoxidation of linoleic acid.

The rate-determining step in free radical lipid peroxidation is the propagation of the peroxyl radical, where generally two types of reactions occur: (a) hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) from a donor to the peroxyl radical; (b) peroxyl radical addition (PRA) to a C=C double bond. Peroxyl radical clocks have been used to determine the rate constants of HAT reactions (kH), but no radical clock is available to measure the rate constants of PRA reactions (kadd). In this work, we modified the analytical approach on the linoleate-based peroxyl radical clock to enable the simultaneous measurement of both kH and kadd. Compared to the original approach, this new approach involves the use of a strong reducing agent, LiAlH4, to completely reduce both HAT and PRA-derived products and the relative quantitation of total linoleate oxidation products with or without reduction. The new approach was then applied to measuring the kH and kadd values for several series of organic substrates, including para- and meta-substituted styrenes, substituted conjugated dienes, and cyclic alkenes. Furthermore, the kH and kadd values for a variety of biologically important lipids were determined for the first time, including conjugated fatty acids, sterols, coenzyme Q10, and lipophilic vitamins, such as vitamins D3 and A.

The CYP74 family of cytochromes P450 includes four enzymes of fatty acid hydroperoxide metabolism: allene oxide synthase (AOS), hydroperoxide lyase (HPL), divinyl ether synthase (DES), and epoxyalcohol synthase (EAS). The present work is concerned with catalytic specificities of three recombinant DESs, namely, the 9-DES (LeDES, CYP74D1) of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), 9-DES (NtDES, CYP74D3) of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), and 13-DES (LuDES, CYP74B16) of flax (Linum usitatissimum), as well as their alterations upon the site-directed mutagenesis. Both LeDES and NtDES converted 9-hydroperoxides of linoleic and α?linolenic acids to divinyl ethers colneleic and colnelenic acids (respectively) with only minorities of HPL and EAS products. In contrast, LeDES and NtDES showed low efficiency towards the linoleate 13-hydroperoxide, affording only the low yield of epoxyalcohols. LuDES exhibited mainly the DES activity towards α?linolenate 13-hydroperoxide (preferred substrate), and HPL activity towards linoleate 13-hydroperoxide, respectively. In contrast, LuDES converted 9-hydroperoxides primarily to the epoxyalcohols. The F291V and A287G mutations within the I-helix groove region (SRS-4) of LuDES resulted in the loss of DES activity and the acquirement of the epoxyalcohol synthase activity. Thus, the studied enzymes exhibited the versatility of catalysis and its qualitative alterations upon the site-directed mutagenesis.
Catalytic production of oxo-fatty acids by lipoxygenases is mediated by the radical-radical dismutation between fatty acid alkoxyl radicals and fatty acid peroxyl radicals in fatty acid assembly

Oxo-octadecadienoic acids (OxoODEs) act as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists biologically, and are known to be produced in the lipoxygenase/linoleate system. OxoODEs seem to originate from the linoleate alkoxyl radicals that are generated from (E/Z)-hydroperoxy octadecadienoic acids ((E/Z)HpODEs) by a pseudoperoxidase reaction that is catalyzed by ferrous lipoxygenase. However, the mechanism underlying the conversion of alkoxyl radical into OxoODE remains obscure. In the present study, we confirmed that OxoODEs are produced in the lipoxygenase/linoleate system in an oxygen-dependent manner. Interestingly, we revealed a correlation between the (E/Z)-OxoODEs content and the (E/E)-HpODEs content in the system. (E/E)-HpODEs could have been derived from (E/E)-linoleate peroxyl radicals, which are generated by the reaction between a free linoleate allyl radical and an oxygen molecule. Notably, the ferrous lipoxygenase-linoleate allyl radical (LOx(Fe2+)-L·) complex, which is an intermediate in the lipoxygenase/linoleate system, tends to dissociate into LOx(Fe2+) and a linoleate allyl radical. Subsequently, LOx(Fe2+) converts (E/Z)-HpODEs to an (E/Z)-linoleate alkoxyl radical through one-electron reduction. Taken together, we propose that (E/Z)-OxoODEs and (E/E)-HpODEs are produced through radical-radical dismutation between (E/Z)-linoleate alkoxyl radical and (E/E)-linoleate peroxyl radical. Furthermore, the production of (E/Z)OxoODEs and (E/E)-HpODEs was remarkably inhibited by a hydrophobic radical scavenger, 2,2,6,6-tetra-methylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO). On the contrary, water-miscible radical scavengers, 4-hydroxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (OH-TEMPO) and 3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrroline-N-oxyl (CmΔP) only modestly or sparingly inhibited the production of (E/Z)-OxoODEs and (E/E)-HpODEs. These facts indicate that the radical-radical dismutation between linoleate alkoxyl radical and linoleate peroxyl radical proceeds in the interior of micelles.

Plant lipoxygenases oxygenate linoleic acid to produce 13(S)-hydroperoxy-9Z,11E-octadecadienoic acid (13(S)-HPOD) or 9-hydroperoxy-10E,12Z-octadecadienoic acid (9(S)-HPOD). The manner in which these enzymes bind substrates and the mechanisms by which they control regiospecificity are uncertain. Hornung et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96 (1999) 4192–4197) have identified an important residue, corresponding to phe-557 in soybean lipoxygenase-1 (SBLO-1). These authors proposed that large residues in this position favored binding of linoleate with the carboxylate group near the surface of the enzyme (tail-first binding), resulting in formation of 13(S)-HPOD. They also proposed that smaller residues in this position facilitate binding of linoleate in a head-first manner with its carboxylate group interacting with a conserved arginine residue (arg-707 in SBLO-1), which leads to 9(S)-HPOD. In the present work, we have tested these proposals on SBLO-1. The F557V mutant produced 33% 9-HPOD (S:R = 87:13) from linoleic acid at pH 7.5, compared with 8% for the wild-type enzyme and 12% with the F557V,R707L double mutant. Experiments with 11(S)-deuteriolinoleic acid indicated that the 9(S)-HPOD produced by the F557V mutant involves removal of hydrogen from the pro-R position on C-11 of linoleic acid, as expected if 9(S)-HPOD results from binding in an orientation that is inverted relative to that leading to 13(S)-HPOD. The product distributions obtained by oxygenation of 10Z,13Z-nonadecadienoic acid and arachidonic acid by the F557V mutant support the hypothesis that ω6 oxygenation results from tail-first binding and ω10 oxygenation from head-first binding. The results demonstrate that the regiospecificity of SBLO-1 can be altered by a mutation that facilitates an alternative mode of substrate binding and adds to the body of evidence that 13(S)-HPOD arises from tail-first binding.

Cytochromes P450 of the CYP74 family play a key role in the lipoxygenase cascade generating oxylipins (products of polyunsaturated fatty acid oxidation). The CYP74 family includes allene oxide synthases, hydroperoxide lyases, divinyl ether synthases, and epoxyalcohol synthases. In this work, we cloned the CYP74A88 gene from the Japanese buttercup (Ranunculus japonicus) and studied the properties of the encoded recombinant protein. The CYP74A88 enzyme specifically converts linoleic acid 9-and 13-hydroperoxides to oxiranyl carbinols 9,10-epoxy-11-hydroxy-12-octadecenoic acid and 11-hydroxy-12,13-epoxy-9-octadecenoic acid, respectively, which was confirmed by GC-MS analysis and kinetic studies. Therefore, the CYP74A88 enzyme is a specific epoxyalcohol synthase.

Plant oxylipins, including hydroxy fatty acids, epoxy hydroxy fatty acids, and trihydroxy fatty acids, which are biosynthesized from C18 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), are involved in pathogen-specific defense mechanisms against fungal infections. However, their quantitative biotransformation by plant enzymes has not been reported. A few bacteria produce C18 trihydroxy fatty acids, but the enzymes and pathways related to the biosynthesis of plant oxylipins in bacteria have not been reported. In this study, we first report the biotransformation of C18 PUFAs into plant C18 oxylipins by expressing linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase with and without epoxide hydrolase from the proteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus in recombinant Escherichia coli. Among the nine types of plant oxylipins, 12,13-epoxy-14-hydroxy-cis,cis-9,15-octadecadienoic acid was identified as a new compound by NMR analysis, and 9,10,11-hydroxy-cis,cis-6,12-octadecadienoic acid and 12,13,14-trihydroxy-cis,cis-9,15-octadecadienoic were suggested as new compounds by LC-MS/MS analysis. This study shows that bioactive plant oxylipins can be produced by microbial enzymes.

Young roots of wheat, barley, and sorghum, as well as methyl jasmonate pretreated rice seedlings, undergo an unprecedented allene oxide synthase pathway targeted to previously unknown oxylipins 1–3. These Favorskii-type products, (4Z)-2-pentyl-4-tridecene-1,13-dioic acid (1), (2′Z)-2-(2′-octenyl)-decane-1,10-dioic acid (2), and (2′Z,5′Z)-2-(2′,5′-octadienyl)-decane-1,10-dioic acid (3), have a carboxy function at the side chain, as revealed by their MS and NMR spectral data. Compounds 1–3 were the major oxylipins detected, along with the related α-ketols. Products 1–3 were biosynthesized from (9Z,11E,13S)-13-hydroperoxy-9,11-octadecadienoic acid, (9S,10E,12Z)-9-hydroperoxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid (9-HPOD), and (9S,10E,12Z,15Z)-9-hydroperoxy-10,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid, respectively, via the corresponding allene oxides and cyclopropanones. The data indicate that conversion of the allene oxide into the cyclopropanone is controlled by soluble cyclase. The short-lived cyclopropanones are hydrolyzed to products 1–3. The collective name “graminoxins” has been ascribed to oxylipins 1–3.

The genome of Aspergillus niger codes for a fusion protein (EHA25900), which can be aligned with ～50% sequence identity to 9S-dioxygenase (DOX)-allene oxide synthase (AOS) of Fusarium oxysporum, homologues of the Fusarium and Colletotrichum complexes and with over 62% sequence identity to homologues of Aspergilli, including (DOX)-9R-AOS of Aspergillus terreus. The aims were to characterize the enzymatic activities of EHA25900 and to identify crucial amino acids for the stereospecificity. Recombinant EHA25900 oxidized 18:2n-6 sequentially to 9R-hydroperoxy-10(E),12(Z)-octadecadienoic acid (9R-HPODE) and to a 9R(10)-allene oxide. 9S- and 9R-DOX-AOS catalyze abstraction of the pro-R hydrogen at C-11, but the direction of oxygen insertion differs. A comparison between twelve 9-DOX domains of 9S- and 9R-DOX-AOS revealed conserved amino acid differences, which could contribute to the chirality of products. The Gly616Ile replacement of 9R-DOX-AOS (A. niger) increased the biosynthesis of 9S-HPODE and the 9S(10)-allene oxide, whereas the Phe627Leu replacement led to biosynthesis of 9S-HPODE and the 9S(10)-allene oxide as main products. The double mutant (Gly616Ile, Phe627Leu) formed over 90% of the 9S stereoisomer of HPODE. 9S-HPODE was formed by antarafacial hydrogen abstraction and oxygen insertion, i.e., the original H-abstraction was retained but the product chirality was altered. We conclude that 9R-DOX-AOS can be altered to 9S-DOX-AOS by replacement of two amino acids (Gly616Ile, Phe627Leu) in the DOX domain.
